四请愿书中写道，加州SCA5法案是对加州“209提案”的违反。请愿书中表示，目前，
亚裔学生已经需要比其它族裔学生成绩高出数百分才能获得平等的入学权利，而SCA-5
法案实施则将令亚裔学生处境更加艰难。仅仅按照种族划分，对亚裔学生有失公平。按
照白宫规定，只要请愿者人数在3月18日以前达到10万人，白宫方面将对此请愿回应。

Subject: Update about 'California State Assembly: Vote NO to SCA 5!' on
Change.org
Dear petition supporters,
It has been only one week since a few volunteers put up this petition, but
we have already gotten over 45,000 signatures! Unbelievable! When we first
drafted the petition, we wanted to use this petition to keep the pressure
on
the California Assembly when they discuss this bill. We thought it would
take quite a while to reach 50,000 signatures. However, we may reach the
target (and have to consequentially end this petition) much earlier than
expected. There is still too much to do and too many people to reach out to
to stop SCA 5. As a result, we have decided to increase the signature
target
to 100,000 for now.
Signing this petition is just the first step. To win the final battle, we
have to keep fighting until the last minute. A few things we would like to
mention:
* Some volunteers in Northern California have created a Facebook group to
connect and communicate: https://www.facebook.com/groups/
SiliconValleyChineseAssociation
* A lawyer set up a website ( http://www.no2sca5.org/ ) with professional information about SCA 5 and have suggestions about how to contact your Assemblymembers in an efficient way: snail mails.
* Here is another Vote-No-to-SCA5 Website, www.saynosca5.com with lots of
comments from visitors.
* The 80-20 Initiative sent out a "Call To Action" to stop SCA 5 http://80-20initiative.blogspot.com/2014/02/call-to-action-stop-sca5-first-then.html
* A volunteer created a Facebook page in an effort to stop SCA 5: https://
www.facebook.com/SayNoToSCA5
* A dropbox folder hosting flyers, posters and more related to SCA 5 https:/
/www.dropbox.com/sh/uc9qw02rt3ev3op/51CTtmdDw1
* WeiDB provides a dedicated webpage for SCA 5: http://www./o1014.html
* … And definitely many more other efforts we miss here.
Again, please help spread this petition and reach out to people with all
kinds races/gender and/or ethnic backgrounds to win more support!
United we stand!
